Heavyweight Percale Pillowcases

Includes:

  • 2 x standard pillowcases

Remember slipping into bed when you were a kid? The way the sheetsrustled and your feet felt a little cold at first but soon you were tucked in andcosy and warm. Those were the best sheets. 

Well, these are it!We’ve taken the best aspects of the cool,crisp and sturdy percale of decades past andcreated a modern take on a tried-and-true classic.  Specially woven just for us, usingtop qualitythicker yarn andlower thread count in asimple, timeless percale weave - tight and durable, not stretchy or drapey, andwon't fluff up or pill.  

The result?Heirloom-quality percale sheets which are cool and crisp, the kind that snap when you fold them. A little bit stiff, and yes, a bit wrinkly but oh, so wonderfully smooth and comfortable. 

Made from 100%good quality long-staple GOTS certified organic cotton, and withOeko-Texcertification  you can be sureyou’re sleeping without harmful chemicals. 

They will only get softer and smoother with use,so you can enjoy better sleep for years to come. 

What to expect:

  • Classic crisp, firm, smooth and durable sheets which soften with use.
  • Some wrinkling.
    This is one area where we depart from the past - we don't blend our cotton with synthetics, or use "easy care" treatments which often use harmful, formaldehyde-based chemicals. We chose comfort and a healthy sleep instead, and the wrinkles reduce with use.

What not to expect:

  • Very thick sheets.
    Percale is generally lightweight. We made ours thicker and heavier, the way percale used to be - so if your ideal sheet is cool and crisp with a bit of weight, you're in the right place. If you mainly care about thickness, you may prefer low thread count muslin-weave sheets or a high thread count sateen, both of which will be hotter to sleep in. Learn about percale.
  • Silky softness.
    Percale softens with use but retains a structured feel, like a button up shirt.


DETAILS

FABRIC

Our Heavyweight percale is perfect if you like your sheets cool and crisp with a little bit of weight.

  • 100% long-staple combed cotton
  • Single pick, single ply construction
  • 240 threads per 10cm2
  • 155 g/m2 (most percales are in the low 100's)
  • GOTS organic and Oeko-Tex certified
  • Softens with use without pilling
  • Fitted sheets feature a wide, strong elastic all the way around
  • Generously sized flat sheets
  • Made in India

CARE

  • Wash separately in cool to warm water using a small quantity of good quality detergent.
  • Avoid the use of fabric softener and chlorine bleach.
  • Line dry in shade or tumble dry on low.
  • Iron if desired - percale does wrinkle but we feel this is a small price to pay for comfort and it will reduce somewhat with use. We do not blend our cotton with synthetics or use harmful chemicals like formaldehyde to reduce wrinkling. See our full Care Guide.

SHRINKAGE

All cotton shrinks after washing, especially in hot water. Shrinkage of up to 2% is expected - but don't worry! We oversize our sheets to account for this to ensure a good fit.

Not soft

Not soft enough

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re genuinely sorry to hear the sheets weren’t what you were hoping for.

Our sheets are made from a classic percale fabric, which is known for being crisp and cool rather than soft and silky—especially when brand new. They’re designed to feel more like a freshly pressed button-up shirt than a t-shirt or sateen sheet. That said, they do soften over time with regular washing and use, becoming smoother while still retaining that structured, breathable feel.

We understand that everyone has different preferences when it comes to bedding, and softness means different things to different people. If you’re after something with a softer handfeel from the start, materials like sateen cotton, bamboo, or a higher thread count percale might be more in line with your expectations.

We really appreciate your feedback—it helps others better understand what to expect, and helps us continue to improve how we communicate about our products. If there's anything we can do to assist further, please feel free to reach out.

Best cotton sheets ever!

I have been looking for sheets like those my grandmother had for many years. These are it! Heavy, crisp, tight woven cotton. (Almost twice as heavy as another brand we tried that advertised "Clothesline Crisp Sheets.") Haven't slept on sheets like this for 50 years! You won't regret trying these. Many thanks.
